Now people have had a chance to properly try out their brushes, would you say it's worth getting the 139 and/or 161, or not?  What are your experiences with them, and what have you used them with?
:blush: my 161 is still in the packaging. I only got it because Macy's made that error :lol: I'm curious to hear experiences too.

I really like the 139, its nice for a subtle application of MSFs / highlighters, but I don't think it's a must have if you already have something like the 187.

I'm meh on the 139, but the 161 is great for the Chanel cream blushes. I got mine for $22 each, though...not sure I would pay full price for either, especially not if I already had something similar.

I have a gift card at MAC so I could splurge on them both but they have not arrived here yet at store only online and I want some reviews first before it arrives at store :)

I don't use cream blush only powders and liquidy stuff on my face :)

I've never had much use for the 187, but I got all the new brushes. I've used them for blush/highlighter. I think they are ok, and wherther you need them or not depends on what you already have I think. The 168 is still my fave slanted blush.

I actually really like the 288! I have used it for consealer mostly and once for e/s.

Yay coupons! Macy's online over here had a temporary mistake that I took advantage of. I'm surprised, but happy, they honored it.

I just ordered the 139 brush :) I'm going to wait purchasing the 161 until I see it live in store this weekend. these two brushes are honestly the only exciting thing for me with this collection. I was hoping for new mineralize skinfinishes but nah

Pure Bred is one of my favorite palettes ever. I love all the colors, they work well together, and they are so buttery. For more pigment spritz the loaded brush with fix+.

Well, that's the thing. I don't have a ton of shadows, so these palettes can really work for me. If you have a bunch, it may not be worth it, or you may already have dupes that are close enough.

I just got my 139 brush and it is really soft (although I'm not a brush professional) and going to order the other one now as well since I don't have anything like that brush!

to all of you who have the 161, is it a tad bit longer on one side than the other or is it just mine?
